handling the tool.
28) Use the tool only for the intended use. Misuse (such using material other than log) can damage
the tool and cause accidents and injuries.
29) The splitting operation of the machine is designed to be activated by one person. While there is
the possibility that additional operators could be working with the machine (e.g. for loading and
unloading), only one operator should activate splitting operations;
30) The machine shall not be used by children
31) Wear suitable personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety footwear close fitting
clothing and suitable work gloves, eye protection and hearing protection.
32) Tests of the machine's safety devices before use the tool. If safety devices do not work
properly, do no use the tool and bring it to a qualified technician for inspection and reparation.
33) The working area shall be free from obstructions; before installation and operation, clear the
working area. Keep the working area free from obstructions, e.g. logs, split wood, etc.
34) Do not reach into the splitting zone.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING!
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
WARNING! Connect the main leads to a standard 230V±10% (50Hz±1Hz) electrical supply
which has protection devices of under-voltage, over-voltage, over-current as well as a
residual current device (RCD) which maximum residual current rated at 30mA.
Replacing cables or plugs
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is
dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.
Using extension cables
1) As a supply for this machine always use an unloaded line and/or extension with conductor of at
least 2.5mm
2
and protected with a 20A fuse. Be sure that this extension cable is no longer than
10 meters. Excessively long cables or inadequate section can cause voltage drops that prevent
motor from developing its full power.
2) Only connect your machine and/or extension cable to earthed electricity mains.
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. Use switch
socket with grounding please.
INTENDED USE
This log splitter is only intended to be used to split logs! Serious injury may occur if this log splitter
is used for any other purpose.
RESIDUAL RISKS
The machine is built according to the current state of technology and generally recognized safety
standards. However, individual residual risks may occur when working with the machine.
Risk of injury to fingers and hands from the cleaver, in the event of improper guidance or support
of the wood.
Risk of injury from the ejection of the work piece, in the event of inappropriate support or guide.
Exposure to electric current, when using inappropriate electric connecting cables.
Furthermore, unapparent risks may remain, despite of all the measures taken.
Residual risks can be minimized, if the safety instructions, the proper use and the
operating instructions are observed.
